Naked Party

Growing up, when my dad would go out of town for some conference or another, my mom and sisters and I would have what we called Bra and Panty Parties. We were too young for any real bras, but we had those little belly-shirt tank types that came with our nightgowns (remember those?). We would watch a movie, eat popcorn, and just hang out in our undies. I remember these parties fondly. They were lots of fun and made us girls feel a little bit like women.

Well, it seems the Anderson household is headed in a similar direction. We've yet to make it a tradition, but the other day- we did have a Naked Party. Mostly we were all roasting hot from playing outside, so as soon as we walked in the house, we stripped down to our undies- and the kids their diapers. We danced around and were silly- playing up our Naked Party for James' sake (yes, that's what we tell ourselves). It was lots of fun... very silly and definitely tons cooler than a Clothed Party. ;)

Above is a picture of our super-silly event. (Don't worry; Derek and I are not in it.)

Side Note: We girls had a Bra and Panty Party when we were old enough to wear real bras... and let me tell you, it was not nearly as much fun. It was more like a We're-So-Awkward-and-Uncomfortable-and-Covering-Ourselves-As-Much-As-Possible Party. :) I wouldn't recommend it for pre-teens or teenagers for that reason. But for itty bitties, it's a grand ol' time!

I was very intrigued by the title! However it was less racy than I thought!

hahahahahahahhahahaha!!! Oh bec I miss you guys! That post is hilarious! I can only imagine a bra and panty party when you are a pre-teen to teen- super awkward! But sounds like so much fun with your little family- nothing like nakedness to bring you together!

Too bad you and Derek weren't in the picture! haha just kidding.

This just made me laugh cause I just kept thinking about the dialogue that may have gone along with this. I just picture Becca saying, "Oh man, it's hot! Let's all get naked!" and Derek shooting her a puzzled, quizzical look that quickly turns to: "Yeah, YEAH! Let's get NAKED!"

Ok, can I tell you that this post was a tad bit disturbing?! The pic of James and Jolie was precious- but picturing you and Derek...and the trip down memory lane.....ugh. Thank goodness no one tried to make it a naked party. Someone may have gone for it...Tori! JUST KIDDING.
